LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, 1838 The last time we adverted to the postage question, we called attention to the evils which a high rate of postage inflicts on the poor. We did not like to be very sentimental on the subject, lest we should expose ourselves to the persiflage of the Tories. To-day, however, we can borrow from them to enforce our views. The Times of yesterday said— Among the calculations made of the correspondence of the poor is one that th ,, re are 50,000 Irish labourers in Liver pool, and as many in Manchester, and these poor people are most of them, as Mr. Ashurst observes, " warm-hearted, affectionate, and proverbial for their attachment to the land of their birth, and to the tics of kindred and of home." Yet the whole of these arc as effectually prohibited from exchanging a word with home and friends as though an Act of Parliament had prohibited it in terms. When this picture, which must be deeply affecting to all feeling minds, is added to ths....'multitude of others, arising from the dispersiGn of familios and dear connexions, not by emigra tion alone, ht:t. over the United Kingdom by the ecger watch after the nwar."s of subsistence, to which probably nine-tenths of the phole population are driven ; and when it shall be proved that concession will cost nothing, such a claim is esta blished to the prompt and effectual interference of the Legisla ture as has probably never before existed. We scarcely need inform our readers that the com merce of the country suffers as much from the high rate of postage as the poor ; but we are reminded of one fact, by the word " emigration," which seems de serving of notice. Lord ASHBURTON, in his evidence, makes the following statement : I am in the habit of receiving one letter a year from America about some property I have there ; the letter generally brings with it half-a-dozen sheets of foolscap paper in accounts. I only get it once a-vear ; but the last letter I got cost me 235. ; it was from New York. I receive but one in a year ; and it is of very little importance how much is charged for a single occasion ; but it could not but occur to me at the time how much mercantile transactions must be impeded by such charges Though poor emigrants may not desire to send home six sheets of - foolscap at a time, such charge on letters from them must put an 'end nearly to all communica tion, and root out for ever all the little fibres of affec tion and remembrance which, even after their departure, connect them with their native country. There is another instance of a bond of peace being destroyed by taxation—the fiscal monster. Lord ASHBURTON'S illustration of the effects of such a charge in impeding mercantile transactions speaks for itself; and, in his opinion, the foreign postage is to the merchant of more consequence than the home postage. We may, how ever, set the exorbitancy of the charge the Noble Lord mentions in a striking light, by observing that, for the cost of thirty such letters, a passenger might be carried from New York to Liverpool, and be fed like a prince all the way, taking with him two or three hundred- weight of baggage. He might carry, if he liked, a hundred or a thousand letters, so that for a mercantile house, which had many correspondents in America, it would be cheaper to send a porter across the Atlantic with its letters than to send them alone. In another part of our Paper we insert two articles on the subject of the Postage from the Times, which so fully explain the impediments which the present high rate of postage lays in the way of commerce, and the progress of knowledge, that on those points we shall offer no other remarks, but take up, on some future occasion, another part of the subject. Something like a dead set appears, just at this mo meat, to be making on the Bank of England. The Chronicle, in a long article yesterday, blamed it most severely for buying securities, and so getting more of its notes into circulation. The Times of this morning contains an article, which censures it for having parted with so many of its securities, and for having paid its dividends out of the Rest. The former warns the public that a rise in price, speculation, and panic, will infallibly ensue from a redundant circulation : the latter exclaims against reduced profits. The poor Bank suffers from the general stoppage of prosperity caused by the Corn-laws ; there is no extension of business, no legitimate want of more money, and it cannot therefore get enough paper into circulation to continue to its pampered pro prietors, while money is only at 3 per cent., the 8 per cent. per annum they have been accustomed to receive. The more it can borrow from the public at no interest, as when it issues a million of promises to pay in ex change for 1,200,0001. in the 3 per Cents. Reduced, the more it increases its profit. The proprietors of Bank Stock therefore call out for it to borrow in thi s manner from the public, and buy with the bor rowed money a right to receive from the same public 40,0001. a year. Some intelligent member of the public, who is, we take it, not a Bank proprietor, and perhap s has some private reason for keeping a sharp look out on the Bank, watches this operation, and.warns those who have to pa y the Bank profit of the consequence s . The Bank monopoly, however strongly we are aga i nst i t, seems a so; t of cor rective of the Corn-law monopoly—as colchicum drives out the gout, but destroys the constitution ; and as long as the landlords' gout prevails, the country must be dozed, we suppose, with the Bank poison. We shall not, at present, therefore, much as eve hate the mono poly, join in an attack on it, and merely advert to the o n , an d to to inform ou r readers of wha t is going to console the terrified Bank proprietors, by the infor mation derived from the Chronicle, that the Bank i s again largely exchanging its promises to p ay w hi ch bear no interest, or f the pulic funds, which bea r a rea sonable interest which is sure to be paid. The case of MARY W O LFREY and the Rev. Mr. B REEKS came on yesterday for hearing in theArches' Court, and after a lo n g p leading on both sides, the Judge (Sir HERBERT JENNER) declined giving judgment immediately. The whole case turned D on the theological question of praying for the dead. r. A D DAMS, MTS. WOOLFREY'S Advocate, contended at c onsiderable length, and with much weight of authority, that prayers for the dead were agreeable to the rules and practice of the English Church, and did not countenance the Romish doctrine of Purgatory. Sir JOHN DODSON, the Queen's Advocate, at as great length, and with probably equal authority, asserted that prayers for the dead countenanced the doctrine 'HE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1838. as many of those whiskered youths who saunter about the metropolis, and whose patents or telatidna have begged for them, and obtained an allowance out of the public taxes. Irish Parsons, who live in case at Chel tenham, and English Parsons, who sit quietly on their velvet lawns, or muse over their port after dinner, have at some time or other begged a permanent income ; and now being provided for by the produce of other men's industry, they cease to labour, and live in the enjoy ment of their alms. Between the pretended lame and the pretended blind, who refuse to work, and appeal to our sympathies for support, and the landlords, who live in ease on the Corn-tax, begged from a hungering na tion, the resemblance is very striking. " Pity the sor rows of a decayed gentleman," says one. " Relieve the necessities of the cripple," says the other. " Your charity, my masters," says the sham mendicant ; Your patriotic contributions," say the sham pro tectors of the public. In chorus, both cry, " Save us, my friends, and your kindness will be rewarded." Of the two, the sham mendicant seems the more respectable, for he only assumes the garb of misfortune, while the hypocritical landlords claim to he endowed with great virtue. Both have this in common, that they live on alms extorted limn th e public on false pretences ; and as long as the landlords continue to be honoured for their ingenuity as the law makers, we see no reason why the beggars, who only follow at a humble distance so respectable an example, should be exposed to public censure. We must imi ate the mendicants, and beg for " justice, my mas ;ers—justice to both." The Spanish revolution has only commenced. After 'our years of war without results, and the destruction of some six or seven Cabinets, of which it would be haid to point out the the most inefficient, we now begin to see a little light cast on the gloomy scene. The existing Government, or more properly speaking, the late Government, (for a miracle only could save the FRIAs administration, to the present day,) by ap pointing NARVAEZ to a separate and independent command without consulting ESPARTERO, have ex cited one part of the QUEEN'S army against another, and by the atrocious attempt to excite a disturbance in the. capital have alienated the best supporters of the QUEEN'S Government. If they are not utterly mad, we can only conclude that the scene which they have been acting for the last ten days, arises out of one of those miserable intrigues which have long been the disgrace and the ruin of Spain, and that it could have only one object, to place Don CARLos on the throne. The wicked, however, are often caught in their own snare, and the symptoms which the army and all the friends of libeitv have evinced, according to the last accounts, lead to the conclusion that such will be the fate of• this wretched Cabinet. The National Guard of Madrid, and of all the principal towns, are opposed to them ; EspAR TERO and his army side with the Liberals ; they have only the army of NARVAEZ to trust to, and with such hosts opposed to them, and loaded as they are with the execrations of every friend of his country, they will find that but a broken reed. The Liberal party will rather undergo any extremity than trust to the tender mercies of Don CARLOS, and we should not be at all surprised if indignation at the treacherous and atrocious machinations of the Ministry should drive the people to madness, and compel them to take sum mary vengeance on these enemies of their country. Their only hope of safety is in the National Guard of Madrid, and the judicious and patriotic conduct of that body on the late occasion holds out the prospect that they will exert themselves to preserve order ; but the sanguinary disposition of the people, the scenes which have occurred at Valencia, and the wholesale massacres of CABRERA, can scarcely leave a hope that they will be successful. In a few days, however, the whole plot will be unravelled, and we therefore look with great anxiety to the next accounts from the scene of action. WHEAT AND WAGES.—The following state ment, extracted from the works of J. Lowe, Esq., exhibits the proportion of the wages of the country labourer to the prices of corn, at the undermentioned periods, and shows the invariable operation of the rule, which the opponents of Corn-laws endeavour to lose sight of, that dear bread causes high wages, and that, consequently, with plenty of work, the nominal price of corn is quite immaterial to the work man.

The prices of tea, sugar, cheese, butter, house-rent, and many other charges, have advanced 33 per cent. since 1792. Yesterday morning, a few minutes past three o'clock, the engine-house belonging to Messrs. Esdailes and Margrave, proprietors, of the City Saw Mills, varnish and japan manufacturers, Wenlock-street, City-road,. was discovered to be on fire. The fire-engine s belonging to the different establishmentspromptly a rrived, and were quickly got into operation, and a plentiful supply of water being obtained, torrents of it were thrown on the flames, and about five o'clock the firemen had subdued the fire, so that not any danger was anticipated. The fire is supposed to have originated from the overheatin g of the machinery, which ignited a quantity of coals. Messrs. Esdailes and Cu. are insured, we understand, and the damage did not obstruct their busines , which pro ceeded as usual. Our readers will perceive, by an Advertisement in our front page, that a subscription has been commenced for rewarding that heroic female Grace Darling , whose intre pid and noble conduct well deserves the approbation of her country. We trust the collection will prove worthy the munificence of a generous public. MORE RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—An accident, which might have been attended with very serious conse quences, occurred on Wednesday morning on the Bolton and Kenyon Junction Railway. It appears that tlte seven o'clock passenger train from Bolton had arrived about a quarter of a mile from the bottom of the incline, near Hut ton Park, and about four mile s an d a h a lf from the Ken yon Junction, when it came in contact with the Leigh lug gage train, which was proceeding in the opposite direction, and which, we are informed, ought to have waited until the passenger train had pa-sed. The concuss i on was tremen dous. The engines and tenders of both trains were de stroyed, and several of the carriages in the passenger train were much damaged. A man named Collier, the engineer of the luggage train, had his leg so much crushed and torn about the knee that amputation seemed inevitable, and the engineer of the other train was also much hurt about the leg and foot. Providentially none of the passengers were injured. .Fortunately in this instance th e t en d er o f the B )lton train was placed before the engine instead of behind, and probably this circumstance tended greatly to diminish the force of the concussion.—Manchester Times. A clergyman, a few days ago, in the country, reading the burial service over a corpse, when he came to the words, " this our brother," &c., forgot whether the de ceased was a man or a woman : turning to one of the mourners, who happened to be an Hibernian, he asked him, "is this a brother or sister ?" " Neither one or the other," answered Pat, " it was only an acquaintance, your honour." - - Further improvements at the Bank are to take place early in the ensuing spring. The walls at the entrance are to be raised some feet, ana it will be lighted from the top, which will prevent the present gloomy appearance and the " darkness visible" in that part of the building. ST. ANDREW'S HOLBORN, 1781.—Tn o C. Barton, we are told, had been Cur a t e o f t hi s Church several years when the previous Rector di e d ; an d, pre suming on length of service, he waited on the Duchess Dowager of Buccleuch, to ask for the living. " You have come soon, and yet too late," said her Grace, "for having made up my mind a dozen years ago as to whom I should give St. Andrew's, I have sent my servant with the presen tation." Mr. Barton bowed in silence, and returned home, where he found his wife and family rejoicing over the Duchess's letter. Term ends on Monday next : some interesting trials are expected in the sittings after term. THE MARKETS.-;THIS DAY.) LIUNGERFORD MARKET. The market was tolerably busy, and prices much as last quoted. Turbot ss. to 6s. and 21s. ; Soles 10d. to ds. per pair ; Lobsters 10d. to 3s. each ; Cod Is. to 2s. and 12s. and Iss. and higher. Meat not free of sale. Beef 7id. to Bd. ; Mutton 7d. to Bd. ; Veal Bd. to 9d. ; Pork lid. to Bid. Vegetables much as previously quoted, and in good request. CITY FISH MARKET. Supplies to-day again were very good, and trade lively prices in proportion, and much as yesterday. Turbot, ss. and 6s. to 21s. ; Soles, 9d. to 3s. per pair ; Lobsters, 10d. to 3s. each ; Cod, 2s. up as high as 255., and some weighing 401bs. each were purchased by the Queen's fishmonger in the City. Whiting, 3d. to 6d. ; Haddock, sd. to 10d. each. SPIRIT MARKET. With the exception of British Corn Spirits there is very little doing in any branch. Rum must be quoted Id. per gal lon lower than it was this day week. Brandy is not so firm as it was. Geneva is now down to 10s. 2d., which is lower. British Corn Spirits were 10s. 2d. when we went to press, but are expected to be higher. HAY MARKETS. The supplies to-day were but moderate, and the demand generally not very brisk-prices as follow :-Hay 75s to 110 s. Clover 955. to 120 s. and 1235. ; Straw 325. to 38s. per load. TALLOW MARKET. P. Y. C. to-day is quoted at 565. 9d. ; more money is asked by soma, but cannot be obtained. COLONIAL MARKET. The quantity of produce announced for sale to-day was rather heavy, consisting of 8,300 bags of Manilla Sugar, in three Jiff Tent sales. Such a large quantity was not expected wholly to sell, and but a part sold ,which realized much about former rates, which were from 19s. 6d. to 235., accordine . to quality ; where prices varied from these rates they were easier. Mauritius, 4,000 bags, in two sales, sold but with no great spirit, former quotations ruling the transactions; there were 425. to 50s. for brown, and 50s. 6d. to 635. 6d. for low and fine yellow. Coffee, 1,725 bags Ceylon, and 173 bales of Mocha, were put up and disposed of at much their former value. About 1,500 bags Saltpetre sold at prices varying, according to refraction, from 245. 6d. to 265. 6d. ; 2,200 bags East India Pepper partially sold at former rates ; 120 hhds. of B trbadocs Sugar sold at prices varying from 58s. to 665. 6d., according to quality. B. P. Sugar sold steadily at previous rates, of 50s. to 535. for hi own ; 535. 6d. to 61s. 6d. for yellow low to good; and 62s to 665. for fine. Tea is flat, but not lower. .Rice is sought after, and good white Bengal command 18s. per cwt. Indigo secures 6 d. to B d. lb. ad vance on last sale's prices. For to-morrow we have public sales of 2,600 bags Saltpetre, 2,735 Bengal Rice, some Cochi neal and Gum. The imports to-day were not heavy up to the time we went to press. of purgatory, and were not consistent with the canons of the Church of England. We infer, how ever, from his speech, that the gist of MARY WooL FREY'S offence was quoting the verse of MACCABEUS, which was placed on the tomb-stone, from the Douay or Catholic version of the Bible. We have not the smallest guide to the probable decision of the Judge, but should suppose that it is for the' interest of the Church of England that MARY WOOLFREY should gain her cause. Whether prayers for the dead coun tenance the doctrine of Purgatory or not, they seem so congenial to the prejudices or feelings of the mass of mankind, that declaring them to be con trary to the canons of the Church would banish from her communion many pious and tender souls who are now to her a source of power and opulence. Why the Rev. Mr. BREEKS should be anxious to widen the breach between her and the Catholic Church, which the Oxford Doctors are labouring so zealously to fill up, we profess not to comprehend ; but if he succeed in establishing th e fact that she repudiates prayers for the dea.3, 'he will &Wile the task of the Oxford Doc tors, and add amazingly to the converts from th e Church of England to Popery. It is not for us to offer an opinion on the profound theo logical question at is,uo, namely, whether prayers for the dead countenawe the belief in Purga tory or not. We arc chroniclers of facts not of mysteries ; and as we know nothing of Purgatory, and have no means of measuring the influence of prayers for the dead over their happiness, we cannot possibly form An opinion on a question which, nevertheless, promiss to cause no little division amongst the religious pdr tion of the community. We might perhaps ascertain whether a belief in Purgatory be useful, we cannot pos sibly find out whether Purgatory exist ; we might iay an examination of facts form an opinion whether prayers for the dead be of advantage to the living, but the im portant question whether prayers for the dead counte nance the belief in Purgatory is one so much beyond our comprehension that, with all humility, we leave it o the decision of the Arches' Court. In the Court of Coln•rmn Pleas at Westminster, ,efore Sir NictioLAs TINDAL, on the 28th of the present month is to be triecl the very important WRIT OF RIGHT, THE GREAT SELBY ESTATES IN BUCK INGHAMSHIRE. On tii issue depends the immense sum of many hundred thousand pounds, with several thousand acres of loncl in that county. Independently of the immense amount of propeity involved in the verdict to be recorded, this trial possesses great public interest, as being the last which can be tried either in the manner in which this is directed, or upon 'a claim against a party in possession nearly sixty years. The recent statute, 3d and 4th of WM. IV., cap. 27, an . Act for the. Limitation of Actions and Suits relating to Real Property, and for simplifying the remedies for trying the rights thereto, having abolished the bar barous absurdities of the one, and shortened the period of time which bars a claim.

When the Jury is impannelled, they will be sworn to speak the truth as to which has the more right, the demandant or the tenant. • A short summary of this extraordinary case at the present moment may be thus detailed : It appears by the last trial, held in April, 1835, and from subsequent proceedings, that the late Thomas James Selby, Esq., of Wavendon, in the county of Buckingham, was a bachelor . ; that his estates had been partly purchased by himself, partly by his father, and partly by his grandfather ; but of the origin of his grandfather he was totally ignorant. He knew himself to be the last lineal descendant of such grandfather, and, supposing it possible that there might be some branch of his grandfather's family in existence on whom the law would cast his estates in case of his intestacy, at the same time knowing th It some of the estates would be escheats in case there should be no such heir, he made his will, and gave all his estates, purchased as before mentioned, To His Piglet awl Lawful Heir at Law, for the better finding out of whom, he directed advertisements to be published immediately after his decease. And after giving a number of legacies, he adds—" And if it should so happen that no such heir is found, then I give the said estates to Willikun Lowndes, of Winslow, Esq., as constituted heir." At the fwmer trial, as now, the de mandant claimed as the right and lawful heir at law to all the Estttns inclodod in the devise. She deduced her title from tire brother of the testa tor's grandmother. Altho,' 4 .ll it is a well known rule of law, that an 1 - Hr sh:1 1 1 not be disinherited but by express word, and that on other construction shall be put on the words of a devise !Iran their primary meaning, yet the Chief Justice, Sir N. Tindal, took a different view, and told the Grand Assize i'h , t it was the opinion of him self and brother Jrid,4e,; that the testator by the words " right and lawful meant an heir of his own name and blood, which :he : I,, inandant did not claim to be, they (the Grand Assize) were bound on that ground (even if they were of opinion the demandant's pedi g ree was proved) to find a verdict for the te nant. And , accord ingly, the Grand Assize came to no finding on the pedigree, but gave their verdict gnner , ily fir the tenant. The demandant's Course' !.aving tendered a bill of ex ceptions to these distinction's of the Judges, by writ of error, the matter was hrou;4 - ht before the Barons of the Ex chequer and the Judges of the Queen's Bench, who, as a Court of Error, unanimously decided that the construction put on the words of the devise by the Court of Common Pleas, was not warranted by the true principles of legal interpretation, and that if the demandant's pedigree was truly stated, she has every qualification expressed or neces sarily implied in the:devise, and that her heirship would apply to each class of the property indifferently, whether purchased by the testator, iris father, or grandfather, and, as there was no finding on the pedigree, they awarded Venire de Novo. Magna est Veritas, et prevalebit. Our readers may rely upon our exertions to give the fullest possible report of the trial which, we think, is not more extraordinary as being the last of this species of trial than it is for the immense fortune depending on the result. Out numerous readers in the County of Buckingham may be assured that the verdict shall be conveyed to them by the ca►tiest opportunity after it is recorded. We direct the attention of the public to the article, which we borrow from the Times, on the Mendicity of the Metropolis. Nothing is made more plain by ou r Contemporary than the fact that beggars have an in superable aversion to work. A love of idleness and of enjoyment is the source of begging. On that account we hardly feel much disposed to blame them, they so much resemble their hettm,.. It is the characteristic of a gcntietnan in our !lye in ease without doing any thing, and the beggars seem ail to belong to the family of the Well-borns. They are only not -so fortunate MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY (THIS DAYJ, TWELVE O'CLOCK Arrivals this morning—French mails due ; a mail f . rom Gibraltar by the Braganza, sailed 10th Nov., Cadiz 10th Nov., Lisbon 14th Nov., Oporto 15th Nov., Vigo, 15th Nov. No ship letters. We have receded the Gibraltar Papers to the 9th of November ; as usual the news they contain from Spain has been anticipated by the French Papers. The Gibral tar Papers to the Ist Nov. contain the following :—" By the arrival of her Majesty's ship Rhadanzanthus, yesterday, we have news from the squadron of the 26th inst. The late cruise of the British and Turkish squadrons together has been attended throughout with the most gratifying in terchanges of friendship ; and good understanding between the two services has thus been cemented, and will form an epoch in the British as well as the Turkish annals. The following are some particulars : At ten o'clock on the 10th of October the Rhadanzan thus hoisted the flag of Admiral Sir R. Stopford and of the Capitan Pasha, and conveyed both these officers with their re spective suites, to Smyrna. There was exhibited the singular appearance of an English Admiral's flag, and the Turkish star and crescent flying from the same mast-head, on board one of our ships ; about half-past one the wheels of the steamer were set in motion, and as this beautiful vessel passed through the squadron the marines were drawn up upon the decks of all the ships, both English and Turkish, and saluted the united flags of the Commanders-in-Chief, while the bands played a Turkish - march. The scene was singularly interesting, both from its splendour and novelty. On arriving off the Castle of St. James, at Smyrna, the fort saluted them with 21 guns. On Wednesday, the 24th October, the Capitan Pasha visited the Rhadanzanthus, for the purpose of witnessing the shell practice, and the working of a large 10-inch 84- pounder gun. Three shells were fired, and the second struck the edge of the target, and partially destroyed it. The third passed through the bull's eye, and with singular precision exploded at the instant of contact. • The Capitan Pasha expressed himself highly delighted and astonished at this practice. On Tuesday, the 23d October, the Marines of our squadron (1,018 in number), disembarked at Vourla, and were reviewed in the presence of the Capitan Pasha. On the 22d the Admiral and Captains of our squadron dined with the Reali Bey. The Rhadamanthus arrived on the Bth Oct. at Vourla, and found lying in that bay the two squadrons. The Turkish squadron consisted of five sail of the line, ten frigates, three brigs, three schooners, and one cutter, making together twenty-two sail of pendants. Some of the Turkish ships are of surprising magnitude, and sail remarkably well, as evinced in their cruise in company with the English squadron from Scio to Messina Bay and Vourla. We have seceived the Lisbon Papers to the 14th inst., but they do not contain any news of importance. All was tranquil in Lisbon.

CHANCtitY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) DEACON v. DEACON'. The 'Joni) CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this ease which related to the management of an extensive brewery, at Portsrhouth. The father of the plaintiff, who was en titled to and moiety of the brewery in question, gave that moiety to William Deacon, subject to the payment of en annuity of 1,0001. The annuity not .being paid, the plaintiff filed his bill, in 1810, and an order was made, referring it to the Master to appoint a re, ceiver. Under that order, two persons were ap pointed, but in 1822, an arrangement was come to be tween the parties, which the Master of the Rolls decided, prevented the Court from having any further jurisdiction, and from that judgment the present case came before the Court by way of appeal. His Lordship, in giving judg rnent, stated that he had been in hopes he should have been prevented from doing so by an intimation from the parties that they bad come to an arrangement upon the subject. But that not being the case, his Lordship proposed now only to give judgment on that part of the matter relative to the opinion of the Master of the Rolls as to the jurisdiction of the Court, leaving it to the parties to determine. After hear ing what his opinion was whether they would call upon him to give judgment on the merits of the case, or adopt the far better course of coming to some arrangement among them selves, by which one individual having the confidence of all parties might manage the concern, his Lordship was clearly of opinion that the Court had jurisdiction to interfere upon the complaint of Henry Deacon. notwithstanding the arrangement that had been entered into. Such being his Lordship's opinion, he would- allow the case to stand over for a few days, in order to give the parties an oppor tunity of considering what they would do. DENT V. BENNETT. The arguments in this case, which occupied part of S turday, and the whole of yestcrday, were resumed to-,tdy and had not concluded when our Reporter left. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Consent petitions and short causes occupied the atten tion of the Master of the Rolls, the greater part of the morning ; when they were disposed of, the part-heard case of Hopkinson v. Roe, was proceeded with. QUEEN'S BENCH.-THIS DAY. (Sittings in Banco.) CARLOS V. KENNETT. In this case, which was discussed for some time yester day morning, Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK announced to the Court that the proposition which he had made of taking a verdict for 251., half the sum in dispute, had not been acceded to by the defendant's Counsel. Mr. RICHARDS felt it necessary to say that his client would not accede to it because he had two or three hundred young men employed under similar contracts who might be inclined to litigate them if he yielded in the present instance. Lord DENMAN said the Court wished to hear Mr. Richards' arguments. Mr. RICHARDS (with whom was Mr. Swan) were then heard in support of the rule. The learned counsel con tended that the plaintiff had been paid two guineas per week, which was the only sum he was entitled to, and therefore there could he no pretence for the Jury finding a verdict for so large a sum as 51/. Bs., ten pounds having been paid into Court. After referring to the evidence which had been given of the imperfect manner in which a portion of the plaintiff's work had been done, the learned gentleman submitted that the rule for a new trial must be made absolute. The COURT having conferred together, observed thet they could not say that the verdict was altogether satisfac tory ; but taking all the circumstances into consideration, they did not think they ought to grant a new trial. Whether Mr. Carrington had fairly stated the contract or not they could not say, but they thought where a party stood so mach upon his contract, he ought to take care that there could be no mistake about it, and more especially when the only evidence relative to it was given by an interested per son, Carrington being the defendant's brother-in-law. There was one fact in the case which entitled the plaintiff to complain. On the trial every imputation was cast upon the work and surveys executed by him, but it did not ap pear that the defendant had ever drawn the plaintiff's attention to the circumstance of the work being improperly executed, or that any skilful person was called upon to give an opinion upon it. The Court thought that too much, had been given by the verdict of the Jury, but they would not say if something less had been given that the verdict would have been wrong. On all these grounds it. did not appear to them proper to disturb the verdict.—Rule refused. BAIL COURT.-(THIS .DAY.) LL ,OY - D's SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY') DEAL, Nov. Nov. 19.—Wind E.

APPLICATION FOR A CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAINST FOUR MAGISTRATES Mr. V. LEE applied for a rule to show cause why a cri minal information should not be filed against four Magis trates of the county of Berks. William King, the person on whose behalf the application was made, occupied a cot tage immediately adjoining Bagley Wood, between Oxford and Abingdon. The wood belonged to St. John's College, but certain parties claimed the right of cutting wood. The affidavits stated that he had been taken before four Ma gistrates, on a charge of maliciously cutting a white thorn of the value of sixpence. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said this was a serious charge, and as a rule could only be obtained for next term, it had better be moved for in the full Court. Mr. LEE thought his Lordship would have no difficulty in granting a rule if be heard the affidavits, which'• were made by five or six different persons. No such case had occurred since his Lordship had sat on the Bench. Mr. Justice LITTTEDALE said this was a charge against four Magistrates acting in their public character, and as the last four days were appointed for motions in the other Court, he did not like to interfere. Mr. LEE said the party eras at present in custody. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said that his granting a rule for a criminal information would not get the parties out of custody. Mr. LEE was aware of that, but was of opinion that if a rule should be granted there would be little difficulty in procuring the discharge of the party. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said it was too serious a case to move before a single Judge, and the application must be made to the other Court. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) BOUSEY V. STEWART. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeared to show cause against a rule which had been obtained by Sergeant Wilde for setting aside the verdict found for the defendant in this case on the third, fourth,fifth, and seventh pleas, or for a new trial. This was an action for trover to recover possession of 16 bales of silk, alleged to be the property of the plaintiff, but which had been pledged with defendant ,by plaintiff's fac tors, Douglas, Anderson, and Co., on account of advances made by him, the pleas in controversy claiming a lien on the property in respect of such advances. It was not dis puted that the advances were made by the defendant on the dock warrants of the property ; and the ground on which Sergeant Wilde mainly relied was, that on the 15th of October, when an advance of 3,0001. was made, and on the 22d October, when a further advance of 2,000/. was made, the warrants were not uno flails, delivered to defendant, but two days afterwards. He (the Attorney- General), denied that this circumstance made any dif ference ; and he affirmed that there was a general argu ment between plaintiff and defendant, that warrants depo sited with defendant by Douglas, Anderson and Co. should be charged with any subsequent advances. The defendant founded the pleas which claimed a lien on the grounds in question upon the second section of the fourth George IV., chap. 94, which was designed to remedy the grievance arising from all pledges of goods by a factor being consi dered void, if disallowed by the factor's principal. That section enacted that if any person allowed a party to be considered as the real owner of property, so far as to be empowered to make sales of it—those who made blna fide advances on the deposit of the goods by the factor with them, should be entitled to bold the goods as securities for such advances. Now the de fendant's pleas not only alleged that Douglas and Co. were at the time of the pledges in actual possession of the bales referred to ; that they deposited the warrants with de fendant ; and that defendant advanced the money on the faith of the warrants ; but that they had no notice that the bales were not the real property of the factors. The only issue which the plaintiff took was that the advances were not made o❑ tha faith of the warrants. BOW STREET-(THIS DAY.) George Evans, a pauper, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at 41re Strand Union workhouse, Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn Fields. It appeared from the statement of Atterel, the constable of the workhouse, that the prisoner has on al; occasions conducted himself in the most riotous and disorderly man ner, by fighting with the other paupers, for which he has repeatedly been committed to prison. Having obtained leave to go out yesterday, he returned last night in a state of intoxication, and, as he was refused admittance, he at tempted to assault the complainant, and created such a dis turbance as to cause a mob of persons to assemble about the door. He was with much difficulty conveyed to the station-house. . . . The prisoner denied the charge, and Mr. MINSHULL ordered him to find bail, obseming, that from the several charges which had lately been brought against him he was unfit to be at large. I II ~': i~I
